Debbie pursed her lips. She deliberately scoffed, “I think it’s a nice gift for your fiancee…”
Frowning, he said in a stern voice, “Keep it. Don’t damage it or lose it, or else I’LL make you pay for it
Debbie rolled her eyes. Was this the right attitude in giving a present?

Handsome, thank you. I love it very much!”
Happiness filled Debbie’s heart. She could suddenly see her future with

Debbie slowly parked her car to the side of the road and turned the hazard lights on. Then, without any sign of fear, she got out of the vehicle and stood arrogantly in front of the group of men.
“Debbie, I never expected that you would break your word!” James ranted furiously at the sight of Debbie. A malicious look was evident in his eyes.
